Ken Hershman has stepped down from his position as executive vice
president and general manager of Showtime’s sports and events
programming, reportedly in favor of a position at rival HBO.
Hershman, has long been considered a supporter of MMA and
will apparently replace Ross Greenburg, who recently stepped down from his role as president of HBO Sports and was not
necessarily a believer in the sport.
Despite his past support of MMA, Hershman and UFC president Dana White have often failed to see
eye-to-eye.
